Hey Guys I just updated to .54 firmware and was thinking of updating to a custom rom for my sola..........
I have used some of them but there were problems with them so I switched back to Stock ICS.......
I just need help from you guys to known which Custom ROM would be best for daily use......... Please help me with all the details like what is working in which ROM and whats not......
If u want something different that is almost complete then go for cm 9.1
If u want everything to work in a rom and based on stock rom
Then I suggest brains rom
Roms by acervenky are also superb

Hi people..
I have just unlocked my bootloader.. Can you please suggest ICS Roms for better and smooth performance than the stock Rom and the appropriate kernels for them!
And should I first install the rom or kernel?
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks in advance!
First kernel, then rom.
Head out to dev section and have fun in testing and finding which is best for you. Everyone have different opinions. But try aosp or aokp roms
try the new xperia pureness v3 its amazing,its still beta but its very good
You can try night elf kernel plus ka21.1 ics rom.

if u want smooth working phone install Polish Blood....
if u want customized with toggles and everything use AKOP,CM9
if u want stock rom use Spacious, smooth and light ICS
but if u want everything working perfectly & smoothly go back to a GB Rom -- codename_ei8ht-----a super rom by a super dev:good:
Get codename eight by emann... on gb..
Else for ics.. try otu whatever u can... i prefer aokp only.. and spacious by shradul..
Rest.. well.. not meant for me atleast..
I use Paranoid Hybrid based on Cynogenmod 9 unofficial version. It's heck of a ROM to start with. You get Cyno feel along with ICS 4.0.4 and also toggle between Tablet UI and Phone UI. It's smooth, fast and gives what you want. You can also use variety of Themes available for Cynogenmod. Please use FXP Kernel.

Though I agree that the rom is excellent, I would stick to 20.1 until issues with the market, gallery, walkman etc is resolved. 20.1 just comes off as a more stable release and recommended for those who don't want to spend time configuring after install. Just my opinion..
A good tip might be to use titanium backup, which can also backup contacts and text messages. Since you often need to format when switching or updating roms.
Kernel & ROM Combo
I also have the Night Elf Kernel plus KA21.1 ICS ROM. No need to factory reset if unlocked and already running a previous version of KA. No issue what so ever on my SE Neo Mt15a

CM9 and CM10 look and work like original android. (ICS and JB respectively)
MIUI rewrote just about the entire user-interface and several of the standard apps to give a different user-experience, but MIUI itself is built on top of Android.
If you've tried CM9 or 10, then there's no harm in trying out a MIUI rom either and see how you like it.
If you make a backup in CWM first you have your phone back working like it is now by just doing a restore.
MIUI v4 ROMS are based on ICS so you use them with the nAa ICS kernel.

Try This by Resac, and read the follow-up posts too for some tips on MIUI specific stuff.
The first time you install MIUI it can take a long time to boot (up to 5 or more minutes) so be patient. Have fun

Hello everyone,
I have recently rooted my SGS2
using CF root.
Replace the Stock kernal with siyah 4.1.5
Then currently i am on stock ROM
slimICS.
HOw to keep the thread alive....
share your experience of Custom ROM which you are using.
Pros and Cons of the ROM...
Report any Bug..
We can then submit the issue to corresponding Thread or developer..
It is really your choice when it comes to deciding on a ROM.
A few things to consider, the JB 4.1.1 ROMs are available but not stable yet. So if you want to try the latest and greatest and don't mind the odd crash and random reboot it allows you the opportunity to report back your findings and assist in that way with development.
If stability is your concern, then you certainly want to go with an ICS ROM. CM9 is pretty stable as a recommendation.
As you mentioned earlier you could also dual boot to experience both. Just a few pros and cons for you to help in decision.
Let us know if we can be of further assistance.

Ok, I'm here if you need me :good:
I booted RR 2.7 ICS version on 2 nd ROM
and after 2 hours booted 3.8 RR JB version..
is it safe to flash ROMs too fast??
I mean back to back??
Theres no limit to the number of ROMs you flash in a day
Only make sure your battery is above 60% atleast before you flash a ROM, or anything for that matter.

as far as jb goes, i can easily recommend latest mcm81 mali build - super smoooooth and slick as silk^^
maybe you wanna try some good old gb - i would consider trying miui builds with fluxi kernel - a more ios like expierience and the best battery life ive had so far. dont know about ics though, i skipped it

Hey Manubr,
few dayz back i was also having the same question
should i try JB too ??..
ok so here is the answer.
JB ROMs are not stable since it has some memory leak issue.
It wil not be resolved till Samsung officially launch JB for SGS2.(will have to wait for stable version)
But CM10 team is trying to resolve infact minimize the issue and get the best JB ROM...
you can check there 30 sep nightly build...
Which i have installed it...
I m having SlimICS ROM1
and CM10 ROM 2..

Quick question (I'm seriously a noob). Does cm 7.2 support the illumination band for xu? Also o had heard cm had camera problems. Are they offset by using other camera apps?

Cm + gb = performance wid battery

Hope someone build the kernel you want.. cuz cm7 based custom roms will be mych better for our xperia u i think..
gb mean is more free ram faster and longer battery life..
From which device will you port cm7?
Hey guys!
I am trying to use MIUI V5 3.11.22 (the latest one) on my I9300, but, seems to have some "lagging" you know?
it's not smooth and cause lags on screen changes, like entering and leaving the settings, etc...
I used to love this ROM when I had an Defy+ but now it seems to be just a lagging ROM...
It's so beautiful.
how can I use that? how can I make that without lags?
Do I have to flash another kernel? What kernel?
What you guys using with it?
Thanks!
Guys I need help.

what rom and what kernel threads are not allowed on xda as per the rules. you should try all the kernels yourself depending on which the base of the rom is.
